It was really quite touching. You can tell she really was a whole, giving person. I thought that she became so close to their families was very nice. Loyalty doesn't come along like that every day! I liked the movie and her very much!

It's a 1964 TV movie written by Rod Serling and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. It was a modernized A Christmas Carol and a plea for global cooperation between nations broadcast at the height of the 1960s nuclear scare. It was on Turner Classic Movies the other day. Maybe they'll have it on again next week.

Peter Fonda's scenes playing Daniel Grudge's (Sterling Hayden) 22-year-old son Marley, killed in action during Christmas Eve of 1944, were deleted in the final weeks of production.

Daniel Grudge is the 1964 version of Ebenezer Scrooge, played beautifully by Sterling Hayden. Steve Lawrence played The Ghost of Christmas Past, Pat Hingle played The Ghost of Christmas Present, and Robert Shaw played The Ghost of Christmas Future.

I agree! Just watched Good Ol' Frida this morning. I actually wonder if her Beatles Weekly publications are attainable? A remarkable person indeed. And a very good film

I watched The Shawshank Redemption last night. I was probably one of the few people who had not seen it. What a great movie! It's hard to believe that it didn't do very well at the box office. I loved the way Tim Robbins' character Andy Dufrense explained his ability to enjoy music, even when he was in solitary confinement: "That's the beauty of music. They can't get that from you... Haven't you ever felt that way about music?" I feel the same way, like it's always with me no matter what I'm doing.
